Managing hybrid Active Directory (AD) environments, which consist of both AD and Entra ID domains, can be challenging. When configuration settings are distributed across multiple consoles, it's not easy to apply them consistently and enforce policies across multiple domains.
As a result, many companies struggle to properly manage permissions for new, transferred, and departing employees and to remove existing permissions that are no longer needed. Cyber attackers can exploit excessive access rights in various ways, causing significant damage to the company.
User lifecycle management is crucial to ensure that excessive and existing permissions are not overlooked. In hybrid Active Directory environments, centralized management is required to consistently enforce policies across all domains.
